    Getting images of Mr SA peeping out from being buried under the trellis….how big were the panels🤪 I remember in lockdown we went to B&Mmmmmms and borrowed one of the supermarket trolleys to bring fence panels home….we had some fun 😳 NOT 🤪😳😂 it’s only around the corner but seemed like miles….they weren’t delivering at the time. We made several trips but it got the job done 😄

    Just wanted to stop by to say I was thinking of you yesterday. I was painting the rafters in my conservatory with some old paint.  I didn't do a very good job but told myself as long as it looked better not worse it was progress not perfection!
    It is a very good mantra to keep you motivated.
